Finally, someone put out a great horror flick.

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2003)

I realize that 28 days later was released in 2002 overseas, but I finally caught it today; July 12, 2003 in lower Manhattan. I read many reviews from others that saw the movie, some praised it and others criticized it. As always I prefer to see movies for myself before commenting on them. 28 days later is by far one of the most superb horror flicks I have ever seen. It opened to little fan fair here in the US, but it seems to be picking up steam. And there is a good reason for that the movie is awesome. I caught it at my favorite theater: United Artists Battery Park Stadium 16, located at 102 North End Avenue, New York NY 10281, across the street from where the WTC once stood. The entire audience seemed scared out of their wits, but no one dared to leave and miss out on the rest of the movie. I myself was freaked out during certain scenes and I love the movie and its director for those reasons. The film is very continuous in its attempt to give off the feeling of dread and horror. Hollywood should take notice of this film and its director. 28 days later was shot on an 8 million dollar budget and has to date raked in $28,505,000 in the US alone. This goes to show you that the studios don't have to waste 100+ million on movies for them to be great. All it takes is a decent Director with an imagination and a good crew and good actors to pull it off, which is something we don't have too much of here in the US lately. See this movie and I promise it will not disappoint, just leave the kiddies home and for those of you that may frighten easily make sure you have someone you can hold on to. I give 28 days later a, well deserved, 10 out of 10!
